The mean work week for engineers in a start-up company is believed to be about 60 hours. A newly hired engineer hopes that it's

shorter. She asks 10 engineering friends in start-ups for the lengths of their mean work weeks. Based on the results that follow, should she count on the mean work week to be shorter than 60 hours?Data (length of mean work week): 70; 45; 55; 60; 65; 55; 55; 60; 50; 55.

Answer:

There is evidence to prove that mean is less than 60 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mean work week for engineers in a start-up company is believed to be about 60 hours.

Sample size taken = 10

H_0: \bar x=60\\H_a: \bar x

(left tailed test )

Data (length of mean work week): 70; 45; 55; 60; 65; 55; 55; 60; 50; 55.

\bar x = 57\\s=6.7823\\se = 0.1448

Mean difference = -3

Test statistic t =mean differene/std error

= -20.72

p value <0.00001

Since p < 0.05 at 5% level we reject H0

There is evidence to prove that mean is less than 60 hours.

o-na [289]

Answer:

Explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following dataset:

46, 16, 41, 26, 22 ,33, 30, 22 ,36, 34,

63, 21, 26, 18, 27, 24, 31, 38, 26, 55,

31,  47, 27, 43 ,35, 22 ,64,40, 58, 20,

49, 37, 53, 25, 29, 32, 23, 49, 39, 40,

24, 56, 30, 51, 21, 45, 27, 34, 47, 35

So we have 50 values. The first step on this case would be order the dataset on increasing way and we got:

16, 18, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 22, 23, 24,

24, 25, 26, 26, 26, 27, 27, 27, 29, 30

30, 31, 31, 32, 33, 34, 34, 35, 35, 36,

37, 38, 39, 40, 40, 41, 43, 45, 46, 47,

47, 49, 49, 51, 53, 55, 56, 58, 63, 64

We can find the range for this dataset like this:

Range = Max-Min = 64-16 =48

Then since we need 7 classes we can find the length for each class doing this:

W = \frac{48}{7}=6.86

And now we can define the classes like this and counting how many observations lies on each interval we got the frequency:

  Class           Frequency      Midpoint           RF                   CF

________________________________________________

[16-22.86)              8               19.43         (8/50)=0.16           0.16

[22.86-29.71)         11              26.29        (11/50)=0.22          0.38

[29.71-36.57)         11               33.14         (11/50)=0.22          0.6

[36.57-43.43)         7               40.0          (7/50)=0.14           0.74

[43.43-50.29)        6               46.86        (6/50)=0.12          0.86

[50.29-57.14)         4               53.72        (4/50)=0.08         0.94

[57.14-64]               3               60.57        (3/50)=0.06           1.0

________________________________________________

Total                         50                                         1.00

RF= Relative frequency. CF= Cumulative frequency

The relative frequency was calculated as the individual frequency for a class divided by the total of observations (50)

The mid point is the average between the limits of the class.

And the cumulative frequency is calculated adding the relative frequencies for each class.

A house was valued at $100,000 in the year 1987. The value appreciated to $165,000 by the year 2002.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

  A) The annual multiplier was 1.0339; the annual increase was 0.0339 of the value.

  B) 3.39% per year

  C) $182,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let's let t represent years since 1987. Then we can fill in the numbers and solve for r.

  165000 = 100000(1 +r)^15

  1.65^(1/15) = 1 +r . . . . . divide by 100,000; take the 15th root

  1.03394855265 -1 = r ≈ 0.0339

The value was multiplied by about 1.0339 each year.

__

B) The value increased by about 3.39% per year.

__

C) S = $100,000(1.03394855265)^18 ≈ $182,000

6/12+6/12 and simplify it
erica [24]
Hey there, since we already have common denominators (the common denominators are 12) we are going to keep the denominator the same and add the numerators, 6+6=12. So, we have 12/12. And you asked to simplify it so 12/12=1. Therefore, 6/12+6/12=1. Hoped I helped. :)
